* Hogan's Alley
* Kid Icarus
* Kirby's Adventure
* Pilot Wings
* Pro Wrestling
* Punch-Out
* Wild Gunman
All of them got rated E. NOW this is an awesome second batch that will hopefully come out in december.

I'm excited because the only one of those games that I've actually played is Duck Hunt. Sad, I know.
edit: I hate intellitext.

I'll have to try out Pilot Wings for SNES, never played it!

Rated E for eld, maybe? I guess if the graphics are pixelated enough, shooting people is A-Okay.

I wonder how they would work then without a cursor? Perhaps they have a way to calibrate the Wiimote so when it is pointing at the TV it knows exactly where it is (sounds like TP has something like that).

They DID say that you could play NES games with the Wiimote...
Also guys, since they said that these games got recently rated, maybe this is the reason why there are so few Nintendo games for the VC launch? Maybe half of them need to be rated by the ESRB before being widely launched...

I know that, I was just curious to how they are going to overcome the technical limitations of needing a cursor because the sensor bar is what is technically what the Wii reads, not the TV. Perhaps someone that is more technically minded can explain how the Wii can get "point at your TV and shoot" without a cursor with it being accurate.

Man are you in for a treat. Pilotwings is such an awesome series, I really hope Nintendo resurrects it with a Wii game.

Look up a review of the LCD TopGun. There's no conceivable reason the same thing can't be done with the Wiimote. The only problem is the lack of a gunsight, which I'm hopeful a third party will take care of. Namco, I'm looking at you.

My thinking on the smallish number of virtual console games is that there's more money to be made by releasing them in small batches than by putting everything (or even half of everything) online at once. If I see every game I could possibly want tomorrow, I'll probably buy Earthbound and a couple of TG16/Genesis games and be done with it. If I see a new batch of games every month, then I'm freshly tempted every month.

The Wii remote pointer works relative to itself, not the actual screen. All in all, I'm quite confused as to how Duck Hunt will work at all. In fact it makes me doubt this supposed list? Do we have an actual link?
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on November 08, 2006, 07:01:49 AM
The only games on that list I havn't played start with a 'K' and I know I will be playing atleast the 1st one of those two.

IGN has a story on this.
I realize that I haven't played it yet, and you have, so you have reason to doubt what I'm saying. However, from everything I know about the Wii, including what you've said, I think the Wii remote can do this just fine. It just requires calibration, but so what? Fans of gun games are no strangers to calibration. That's no problem. The lack of a sight is a problem, though. I'm extremely disappointed in the gun attachment Nintendo's shown because it doesn't have a sight.
My biggest concern is that Nintendo will overlay a cursor regardless. I think that would take all the fun out of it, so I'm holding out hope that it can be turned off. In fact, when I first realized the Wii controller could be used like this, it dawned on me that a cursor is actually possible even if it isn't strictly necessary. It would be great if it could be toggled on or off to help less skilled players, like a virtual laser sight.

I wonder whose job it is to search "Publisher: Nintendo" every day to find new NES games on the list.

The ESRB doesn't trust that games they rated "kids to adults" are appropriate for "everyone"?

It just seems so odd to see Super Metroid with an ESRB rating. Hell it's just weird that such a classic Nintendo game managed to not get re-released in any way for so long. Good to see it get an E. Sometimes non-cartoony graphics confuse the ESRB people into thinking a game isn't appropriate for kids. Metroid Prime is rated T and I see no reason why that game isn't appropriate for everyone. It just isn't a cartoon so it gets a T. Remember when every game was considering acceptable for kids even if it had Hitler's head exploding in a gooey mess? And isn't it annoying that this whole ESRB stuff was started by Night Trap and Mortal Kombat, two games that no sane person would ever find fun today?
And to be a stickler the game is called SUPER Mario RPG. I assume that's IGN's typo and the game isn't getting renamed. I hope they release it in Europe because everyone deserves to enjoy this classic. I have a feeling the VC games that have until now only been available on their native system are going to sell HUGE while widely ported stuff like Ice Climber is going to have weaker sales. Super Metroid will probably outsell everything, at least in North America.

You're on...I bet Super Mario Brothers or Super Mario 64 will sell the most, and you'll come on and complain about it when it does...
Post by: Ian Sane on November 08, 2006, 11:35:56 AM
I'm hoping that without the "but I don't have it on a portable" excuse people will actually think for a change and not buy product they already have.
